Default Bulk Reef Supply order

Is anyone buying something at Bulk Reef Supply now or in the near future? I'd like to get some screening to make up tank tops but the shipping is twice the cost of the screen. I just thought if I go with somebody on an order, I could share the shipping. Please advise. Thanks much!

I was thinking of making an order, but again the cost of shipping is great without a larger order......but can we get them sent to each person or one order....I am thinking one order..so it may not work for me to be added in. I have never done a group order before. Brad

This is off the BRS site:

We have a unique way of doing Group Buy's at BulkReefSupply.com. Instead of requiring groups to place a single large order we give each group buy participant individual access to our lowest prices. There are no purchase quantity or order size requirements. Each participant gets the lowest prices even if they only buy one item. This removes the need to organize one big bulk order, collect all the payments, and distribute the order. And this also means Group Buys at BulkReefSupply are not limited to local clubs! That's right, because orders are shipped separately group buys can involve people from all over the country and Canada.


I am definately in!!

I was part of a group order like this one. You still pay individual shipping.

Yes, but normally, once you factor in the discount of the group buy, the shipping isn't all that much.

The group buy makes the prices of almost everything on the site cheaper. So, as long as your ordering more than one item, you will save enough to negate the shipping fees. And it is delivered to your door

Plus, who ever organizes it gets 2000 points (equal to 20$)

Default BRS - Canadian Shipping Info

For you reading pleasure.

Shipping to Canada: All Canadian orders received before Thursday @ midnight are shipped on Friday. The shipping program we use to save you brokerage fees only allows us to ship on Fridays. Canadian orders will arrive at your door with no extra fees due. Here's how: BulkReefSupply.com pays all brokerage charges out of our pocket to UPS. We also pay the GST, customs duties, and other Canadian governement fees however these are passed on to the customer via a flat 15% Canadian tax assessed at checkout on our site. In a nut shell we pay brokerage and you still pay your government fees, but you know the cost up front and there is no surprise bill presentated when the package is delivered at your door. The 15% tax rate is based on the Ports of Entry our shipments pass through Canadian Customs and on the duties required on the wide variety of products we ship to Canada. Please note all prices on BulkReefSupply.com are in US dollars, not Canadian. Canadian orders are not eligible for any Free Shipping offer.
